Maryland drivers  can now ADD THREE EMERGENCY CONTACTS TO THEIR DRIVER’S LICENSE so police will know who to call if an accident occurs. The emergency contact information is stored electronically on an individual’s driver’s license and will be available only to authorized law enforcement personnel.

You can go to the MVA’s website at www.mva.maryland.gov and add your three emergency contacts in just a few minutes.   You will need your Driver’s License Number to complete this process.

1.      Go to the website:  www.mva.maryland.gov
2.      Go to “On-line Transactions” (upper left) & click on “More”
3.      Click on “Emergency Contacts” (bottom of left column)
4.      Follow prompts

Another note… Beginning January 1st, 2012, the MVA will no longer be sending out Driver’s License renewal notices.   It’s your responsibility to keep track of when it’s due for renewal.  And be careful, if you miss your renewal date for over a year, you will have to take a driver’s test again!  Driving without a “valid” Driver’s License is considered a MAJOR VIOLATION & could affect your insurance premium.

FYI…. Your Driver’s License renews on your birth date every 5 years!!!   Check your driver’s license….Is it time to renew??

Be a Good Neighbor & pass this valuable information along to family, friends & colleagues on your email list.
